EMILY'S POV As we walked back to the table, I could feel Fiona's eyes on us, her expression curious. Liam dropped my hand and turned to her. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave," he said, his voice polite but firm. Fiona's face fell, and she reached out to grab his shoulder. "But I thought we were just getting started," she said, her voice filled with pain. I guess she didn't expect Liam to turn her down just like that. My phone rang inside my bag and I took it out and accepted the call. It was Vincent calling me. "Hello, where are you? I would love to come and pick you up." Liam said. I checked the watch to see it was already past 4. "Okay let me forward you the details," I said and forwarded the details to Vincent. "The cinema is just around where you are. Just hold on and wait for me" Vincent said. "Ohh. I didn't know the cinema was close by. I will be outside" I said and ended the call. "Sorry, but I need to get going now, sir," I said and Liam nodded his head. "Ac
EMILY'S POV To say I was surprised was an understatement. I am literally beyond pissed right now. Not in my wolf dreams will I think that Liam will have the nerve to kiss me after the warnings I gave him. How dare he invade my privacy because of a stupid movie. I should have known Liam would agree to come with her because I chose the same place. I washed my hands inside the washing sink in the restroom before looking at my reflection in the mirror; this time, I made sure the door was locked. My pupils were a little dilated, while the nude lips had already faded, losing their colour. “Emily, just a few weeks left, and by that time, you should have successfully taken your revenge," I affirm before leaving the room. I walked out of the restroom and made my way outside. To my disappointment, Liam didn't follow me. "Sorry," I murmured when I bumped into someone on the way. The person didn't reply instead, he walked away from the scene. I tucked my hair behind my ear and tried to walk
LIAM'S POV"Mr Liam, she has already left. Do you still want to come with me to another place?" Fiona asked, and I wasn't even listening to her, and yet she kept talking."Will you love to visit the amusement park with me then?" Fiona asked. I hated women who talk too much. I tolerated her all this while because I wanted to use her but now that the woman I was trying to impress has already left, she has no right to stay here with me."Woman, can't you just read the air and get going." I barked at her and her face fell with shame. I didn't mean to hurt her with my words, but she clearly asked for it by annoying me when she was not my girlfriend."What? I was only trying to...""Fiona," I called, shutting her off and she swallowed hard. "You should have noticed I don't have interest in you. Get the fuck out of here woman." I said in a low menacing voice."What? Why would you hurt me that way? What did I do?" She asked, almost on the verge of crying. "I regret coming here with you," Fi
LIAM'S POVMaddox pulled the door open for me and I walked inside to see them actually working hard to locate who was stalking Emily."When she got the call, I tried to locate the person and it led me here. It was a warehouse, but I don't know why he is going this far," Rylan said, and my frown only deepened."Is it possible that the guy in the dungeon is lying? What if he rest assured that his sister will be taken care of by his boss if they realize he is nowhere to be found for the past two days?" I asked, and Maddox seemed to agree with me that I was right."Okay, you are right," Rylan said and stood up from his seat. "I also found something through the footage you sent to me. He is actually someone in a high position. I am sure he has been Emily before. He can't just target her or should I say he is doing this because of you?" Rylan explained and I couldn't help but think about what he said."Because of me?" I asked, my eyebrows raised in question, I clearly didn't think of this b
EMILY'S POV It's been an hour since Vincent left but I was still standing by the window, looking at the sky. My back collided with the wall as I let out a deep sigh. I literally thought I was already getting okay not knowing it was all a lie. It all started when I had an accident five years ago. It was when Aysel tried to hit me with her car. I contacted zone out but I tried to overcome it without Vincent knowing since he is always not at home. It stopped after three years of constantly going to the gym, training both my mind and body. It helps me a lot but not until I saw Thomas, the man who inflicted pain on me in the past. The one I thought was my father not knowing it was all a lie. Being shot in the chest right in front of me, I realised the panic set in again that I might lose again in this lifetime only if Aysel is caught or thrown behind bars for the evil things he has done. I took out my clothes and disappeared into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I sit inside the b
EMILY'S POVI found it hard to sleep after Liam left. I couldn't, no matter how much I tried, and guilt kept eating me up.Maybe I shouldn't have acted that way to him.Maybe I should have allowed him to stay since he came here to protect me. Liam knows about the stalker and maybe sooner or later, he will know about Xavier.However, before that could happen, I would have successfully chosen to stay in my father's company. I need to know why Aysel was hell-bent on killing me.I won't be surprised if he was the one who sent the stalker to me. She might have wanted to retaliate but I never thought she could go this far just to make me regret ever humiliating her.John has been in hiding after what happened. If Emily knew about what happened, he would only get angry more. I rose up from the bed and walked towards my window, a shadow loom began the plant. Even in the semi-dark place he was standing, I could make out his features.Suddenly, his head turned in my direction and I closed the
LIAM'S POVI parked my car in front of the penthouse and made my way in, Rylan was already waiting for me inside. I had to leave Emily's place at exactly 6 a.m. after making sure she was safe.Without thinking much about what happened last night I pulled the door open and got in. My lead only goes back to one man and he is still in the dungeon."You came late. I hope we still have time" Rylan said, getting up from the couch with a cigarette in between his fingers."I had to make sure she is safe before coming" I rolled up my sleeve and took out my phone from my pocket. I walked towards the safe and punched in the password. I took out the burner phone Scorpion was using and tucked it inside my pocket trousers."Loverboy." Rylan joked and then, his expression turned serious again. "So what are you going to do inside?" He asked and continued, torture him more or kill him?" "I will make him call his boss, that is all," I said and made my way to the underground dungeon while Rylan tagged
LIAM'S POVRylan and I got to the location. It was already past close to 7 a.m. before we got there. Rylan makes sure to check the environs for any possible shadow lurking in the shadow. The breeze blows, making the nearby sway left and right. "Have seen him," Rylan said after checking with the camera in his hands. He passed it to me and I looked through it. He was alone sitting on one of the chairs as he looked around for any sign of danger. I must say, he is actually meticulous and pays more attention to whatever is going on right now. Too bad he won't be able to get us until we get close to him.Rylan, who was dressed in all black, pulled the hoodie over his head and began to walk in the direction the asshole was. He was already disguised as a Scorpion right from home in order not to arouse suspicion. Rylan has the same figure as Scorpion which was Why it was very much easier for him to blend.Rylan got inside while I took the cue of his distraction to get close to the window.
EMILY'S POV"I already told Thierry to take your car home, I will take you home myself"No. This must be some sort of joke because why would Liam tell me he already told someone else to take my car home.Now, he is volunteering to take me home when he has a place to go to. Aysel is probably waiting for him in the hotel room with red underwear."I don't tell you to do that" I began, placing the coffee back on the table."It's heavy outside Emily. Just come with me when the rain is a little bit heavy." Liam said and took a sip from the coffee."Stop acting as if you have the right over me without telling me first about your plan," I said, my voice rising as I clenched my hand."I won't apologize for that." He said without any remorse. "I never told you to. I said you shouldn't do that again without my consent." I said and looked at him straight."Drink the coffee and let me know when you are ready to leave" Liam said and stood up to leave the room."I thought you needed to be in a plac
EMILY'S POVMy hands clenched into a fist when I realized it was actually Aysel who came in and she was coming towards me intending to know who was inside where I came from. The girl is so persistent and annoying. She even has the guts to show herself in front of me. Really?"So you are still here acting like his slave after all after Father promised to give you his own company. I heard you are going to become the CEO so what are you still doing here?" Aysel asked, trying to walk past me in her high heels but I stopped her with my hand stretched out."You should receive a reply for the stupid words you just uttered, don't you think so?" I asked her and she scoffed, her eyes belittling me. "I am not his slave but you should be ashamed he is not even looking at you. I thought you said you guys were going to marry soon," I asked Chelsea, and her eyes seemed to flutter a bit before she finally relaxed."Yes," she said as she took a step back away from me. "We would have gotten married if
EMILY'S POVFor a second, I could breathe well because I actually thought I was dreaming right now. I mean, how could Liam be reading my novel.My hands itched, and I decided to take a stroll towards what he was reading, my mouth fell open when I saw he also dropped a comment on almost every chapter, and not only that, the account he was using was actually my best reader. He has been following my books for the past six years and yet I didn't even pay more attention to him because I thought guys aren't the type to get invested in online novels.He knew I was writing comics but I never imagined him reading one of them.I shut the laptop and placed it in the nearest table drawer before closing the drawer back. I took the small piece of clothing off the hanger and used it to cover his legs. Looking at his full eyelashes and brows, knots form in my stomach. He looked so beautiful even in his sleep.After making sure the cloth covered him, I wanted to leave but I felt a hand catch my wrist.
EMILY'S POVI drive to Liam's company after leaving Xavier's school and inform the teacher about how Xavier's classmates are actually trying to cheat him because he doesn't have a father.What got me puzzled was when his homeroom teacher told me a man had already come to meet him and this man claimed to be Xavier's friend. When she gave the description, it aligned with Vincent at first, but then I didn't think Vincent would come to Xavier school without informing me."I actually thought it was his Dad at First Miss Emily" I recalled what the teacher said, causing a deep frown to marred my face as I parked the car in the company parking lot.I got down from the car and took my bag with me as I made my way upstairs. I took the elevator to Liam's office. The elevator door opened and I walked out after greeting the receptionist. The weather forecast already revealed the probability of rain falling today.With my umbrella still inside my bag, I get into my office room and spot Liam in his
EMILY'S POV"Okay, thanks for having me here, Emily," Chelsea said as she threw herself on the couch, her legs sprawled out. "Feel at home babe. Thanks for taking care of him." I said and took the Chelsea bag from the floor.Chelsea yawned softly and I already guessed that she was hungry. "Xavier already has a special place in my heart," Chelsea said in between her smile.I winked at her before taking my bag alongside the Chelsea bag.However, Xavier, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly took out a piece of paper from his bag."Mummy" Xavier drawled out in his weak voice."Yes, baby," I replied and opened my arms wide for him to come in. He always has something to say whenever he calls me that way."See this," Xavier said and showed me the paper."We have a parent and teacher meeting on Thursday, and I want Daddy to come," Xavier said and my heart skipped a beat, ears ringing because I didn't expect him to say that.Chelsea had the same expression as me, and she came to my rescue.
EMILY'S POVMy heart beat loudly in my chest and I swear, I didn't even feel this scared when Liam kissed me.Fuck.Why am I even thinking about him again when Vincent was the one standing in front of me. He just told me I am beautiful, with his lips barely touching mine, but I am afraid I can't feel the spark.There is no fucking chemistry between us, and it is ruining me. I don't want it to be as if he took advantage of me when I kissed him whereas I didn't want to.I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him away from me but he didn't bulge neither did he kiss me."I'm sorry Vincent. I can't do this." I said and saw pain flash in Vincent's green eyes. He was already expecting me to say that so why is he looking at me that way?"Why?" Vincent asked and released my waist, but his body still caged me to the cabinet. I could feel his hot breath on my lips."Because I don't feel the same," I said, keeping my eyes focused on him. I won't crawl back like a weak woman and let him feed
EMILY'S POVVincent opened the car door for me to step out and get out of the car with a smile on my face. "Thank you, Vee," I said while he closed the door."Welcome to my place Emily. I think this will be the second time you will be coming here." Vincent said with his hand raised in the air. He walked towards the entrance of his mansion while I followed him."Oh come on. It's not my fault Vincent. You know I have been busy lately but we do go out several times, " I said and laughed in between my talk."Okay," Vincent murmured with a smirk at the corner of his lips. "I'm glad you actually followed me here today."I should be thanking you for helping me. You are actually a rare gem" I said, praising Vincent."Come on, what are friends for?" He said and unlocked it for me to step in before closing the door behind us."And I should be glad you are safe because you are my fiance," Vincent said, and I stopped in my tracks.Did he mean it when he said I am his fiancé? Because the truth is,
EMILY'S POVI thought Vincent was actually going to take me elsewhere but to my astonishment, the car stopped in front of the police station. "Is there something wrong?" I asked Vincent and he looked at me before taking his key out from the ignition point."The stalker has been found, Emily," Vincent said,d, and it felt as if my ears weren't working for a while. What did he just say?"The stalker has been caught?" He repeated, and my legs seemed to lose strength, but Vincent already understood my situation. He got out of the car and unlocked the door to my side."I don't want to inform you straight at home, but I want you to be rest assured that he will never text you again, Emily," Vincent said, and I nodded my head."Thank you, Vincent," I murmured as he helped me down to my feet. I clutch my bag to my hand as we make our way inside the station.Another detective was actually in charge of the case. "Miss Emily right?" He asked and I answered yes."Okay, we are to inform you that the
